The heat gun is a large power fan, which is designed to dry and heat a room with a large area. A device with a useful power of 1 kilowatt can heat about 30 square meters of space.
Using the device, you can heat up to a temperature of 20 degrees. Thus, one Ballu heat gun is able to heat a room with an area of up to 450 square meters.
In its design, any fan heater consists of a housing, a built-in fan, a block of heating elements (heating elements, combustion chambers, etc.), a mode switch, a thermostat, and a control device. Some models of devices are equipped with a special filter that purifies the air.
During the operation of the heat gun, the heating of the room occurs quite quickly. This is possible due to the ability of the devices to create increased air circulation due to the operation of the fan. By their design, fan heaters produce various types, shapes, and capacities.
The shape distinguishes between square and cylindrical devices. Ballu square heat gun has a low power, and the heating element of the device is made in the form of a grid.
Cylindrical devices have enhanced power characteristics up to 54 kW, and their heating element is made in the form of a spiral. These devices, due to their design, give a much higher temperature.
By type of energy source, all Ballu heat guns are divided into gas, diesel and electric. The most popular are electrical devices due to the simplicity of their operation and maintenance. Therefore, they are more common than other types of devices.
Ballu electric heat guns are used both in industry and in everyday life. Typically, a heat source is a single heater or a group of them. The power of such a heating element most often does not exceed two kW.
The main advantage of electric fan heaters is mobility, they are convenient to transport to any place. The main disadvantages include the need to create industrial stress.
Ballu diesel heat guns are used for the same purpose, but they have design differences. The device works by burning kerosene or diesel fuel. Today, these devices are divided into fan heaters of indirect and direct heating, which have their advantages and disadvantages.
The first variety is most often used for heating rooms in which people or animals can stay for a long time. This device has increased protection against the penetration of combustion products into a heated room.
A direct- heated diesel gun does not have a chimney, which leads to the entry of combustion products into the building. The device must not be used where people are. Most often, these devices are used for heating various material dryers, for drying coatings of building mixtures.
Ballu gas heat guns are designed to quickly heat any room. They have a small weight and size and are able to work on natural or liquefied gas.
